Mr. Dickinson, minister to Nicaragua, transmits e
an elaborate account of the recent volcano. The
eruption continued sixteen days, making itself a
cone two hundred feet high, with a crater in the
top two hundred feet in diameter; sand from
which covers tfe country from the volcano to the
Pacific, a distance of fifty miles. Been at night,
the rim of the cone, and half way down it, was in
a red heat, while the height of the flame and flying
cinders was five hundred feet. Mr. Dickinslon 21
thinks the volcano was smothered with its own
discharges.

Tar Orzan.-We were agreeably surprised on
Thursday evening to ee a longer line of arriages de
than usal before the Opera Bonse, and upon en- mi
tering our enchantment was perfect, to witness a lot
house filled with the beauteous women of New
Orleanes, who, although they were decked with
eat simplicity, presented a sight which will be qe
long remembered by the habituds of the opera. CC
l be performance passed of with much credit to 1
the singers, of whom we will not speak to-day,
reserving all our encominme for Mr. Develle, our
great scenic artist. who surpassed himself in his o
gorgeous scenes of the fourth and fith sets.
-aust ' a ill be repeated on Monday.
This evening the "Orown Diamonds," by the of
immortal Auber, will be sung by Mme. Prevost a
Seguin, Messrs. Damianl. DecrB , Thuler sand o
others. On Sunday, the management, instead of le
producing a drama, will place "Robert le Diable" th
upon the stage. with M'lle Audibert, Prevest tB
Seguin, and Messrs. Pioot, Lambel, Fausohetti
and Van Hulen, In the.prcipal roles. c
In active rehearsal: Boletto," " The Hu- r
gueaota," " Le Dragons .e Villars" and "If I
were King."
Vausaas.-" Macbeth" was p d at
being very ably sap b Dr. us Du»-.
can, Mr. LawTer as Macduf d Mr. Hagnsau P'
Banque. The baquet scee n which the guilty te
woman vainly endeavors to infuse into her hs
band the nerve to face the horrible speoter and C1
to override the pangs oef his own conscience, was in
admirable, and won enthusiastic applause. Mrs. de
Gomersal and Miss Placide as leading witches,
were good, and gave a charm to the weird scenes s
in which they appeared. To-day, at noon, Mr. s
Booth will play Beuedick in "Muho Ado About a
Nothing," and to-night he eoneludes his engage
ment with the performance of " Richard Ill."
AcADior or Mrsic.-The Academy is onee
more itself. The variety performances-its legiti
mate species of entertainme nts-have been re-in.
angurated. Last evening we saw Delehanty and ci
SHengler, two Ethiopian comedians, o through si
with their senegambian gambols. When they di
came upon the stage we were fully prepared to.
condemn, in advawce, everything is the hackneyed L
burnt cork order of amusement; but their singing
and dancing were so novel, there was about their
movements and manners a something so entirely d
fresh and in contrast with the generality of sonc h
things, that they won our applanes is spite of cl
previous prejudices. An excellent big, including
these and other novelties is announced for to-day's
matinee, and for this evening.
Br. Calau.s.-The "Black Crook" continues 01
popular. The Amason March we never weary of
seeing; while the rare strains which usher it upon
the stang, and accompany it to the close, appeal a
forcibly to those who admire martial music. And c
then, as through the serled ranks flit. at intervals,
fair dancers. clad in white, as peace contrasting P
with war, and shining upon all a light more bril- m
liant than the midday sun, what spectacle, on or
off the stage, could be moere striking? The piece
will be repeated every evening during the coming c
week.
Tan GREAT CCrcs.--The unusual attractions
offered by the enterprising management of Robin
son's combination entertainment are tlling the
monster pavllon nightly. The rid!ng, tnmbli og
and leapoing are, as a general thing, as good as
the moat fastilous lover of this species of spno
counld desire. Then, too, admirers of horse fes$
can here see some splendid trained steeds, and
zoologists, too, may fiu in the eixteen cages of
wild beasts food for study and instrnction. Two
performances are given daily. They are invari
ably well patronized, asu. indeed, any of our read
er in paessag the corner of Bt. Charles street and
Tivoli Circle, caanot have failed to note. To
there who have not as yet attended, we would
r say-go by all means.
t'ItE.Y~cET CITY Mrsern.-Thls establishment
is daily increasing in popularity. Visaitors invari
ably find themselves gratiled on an inspection of
the numerous curiosities. The museum is oppo
site the St. Charles Hlotel, and ii open daily from
: A. ax. to 10 P. I.
NI('CO.on, IPAn.ET.-We are much gratified d
to see that the Southern Paving Company has
r finished paving one side of that magnificent ave
Inuc, St. Charles, in J-feerson City, with this excel- 5
leit patent pavement, which aia been adopted in
nearly every Northern and Western city. The in
crease in the value of the property which fronts i~
upon St. Charles avenne has been far beyond the
expense of the pavement, and many floe resti
dences are being erected. We hope that it will
not be long before all of our streets are thus
d paved. The following is from the BSavannah Ue- I
Spublican:
" The Nieolson pavement seems to be very
opular wherever laid down. The citizens of '
Piladelphia are highly pleased with that now I
finilhed on Broad street, and insist that other
thoronghfares shall be similarly paved. The Ni
colson pavement in New York has also stood the t
test. a to "he relative merits of the Nicolson I
Sand Belgi pavements, a New York oontempo -
rary mays that a square of each was laid in that I
city at the same time, in 165, and that while the
Nicolson reipains smoother the betlgian is full of
g irregularittee, and is in sech poor condition that it
will soon need relaying. The universal testimony I
is, in fact, that where the Nicolson pavement is I
Sthoroughly laid down csecordiog to the roles of
. the inventor, it has not its equal for comfort and
durability."
Mr. Bullock, of Bristol, a I., aged 98 years,
was lately enved from death by a pet cat, who
saw the bed had taken fire, and comprehending
the exthe egcy he case, broke a pane in the
window, Jumped ont, ran round to another win- 1
dow, broke a pane therem and ran in, awoke
. another member of the family, rnd tore at the
bedclothee until he got nup and discovered the
d danger of his aged relative.
